good for you. But... maybe...You should have gone to vegas instead.
PO of my bird used all autozone parts.. I've already had to replace the brakes at less than 10,000 miles, the rack he bought leaks, one ball joint already shot.


Tell you what.. when your buddy's blazer has a problem.. tout up cheap parts and tell him if any of those fail, YOU will do the labor.

We try to help people avoid doing it over. Warranty dont mean **** when part has a 40% early fail rate.

I would go spend 2$ on a new one then. With the new one it quieted right now.


But like petty said.. getting parts that arent AC Delco isnt a good idea, but something like this that is so cheap and easy to replace i really didnt care. but for something like a fuel pump thats a huge pain in the A$$ to replace i would only ever go AC Delco.

like i said i use autozone parts with no issues i do all my own work on my blazer. i did buy ball joints once from napa they lasted 2 yrs (greasing every oil change sometimes in between) with no warranty at 60 bucks a piece what a wast. i bought auto zone ball joints they last a year and a half to 2 years for 25 bucks a piece with a life time warranty if they go i take them all or 1 out bring them back and get all 4 or 1 for free for the LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. radiator is from there 4 years old, power steering pump year and a half old, water pump 3 years old, tie rods 3 years old brakes all they way around have at least 23k on them. sending unit is from Pep-boys that's 6 years old. there's more parts that im missing that have been in longer these are just the most recent ones iv changed. im not telling you or anyone here to use Autozone parts all im saying is iv had good luck with them. i do know there warranty policy changes state to state so maybe places where they don't honor lifetime warranty for the life of the truck maybe they get shotty parts. i do agree you get what you pay for but i have always bought there more expensive parts not there cheap parts. its my daily driver i dont take my truck mudding only abuse it sees is towing my atv or jet ski and snowmobile in the winter. 210,000 still going strong

I saw someone make a comment about the buzzing sound, my speedometer cable was touching the vacuum hose going into the PCV and made an annoying buzzing sound that seemed like it was coming from the gauge cluster so I just zip tied them apart
